It’s really interesting seeing how true this has turned out to be in my case. I came from studying Russian misinformation and the unreality state that existed around Putin and the oligarchs. by the time 2017/18 came around it was clear that we were in the same spiral of state capture.

Newsom is kinda frustrating like if your favorite team's quarterback is overrated and sucks and would be better off replaced by his backup.
Cuomo is like if your quarterback was a secret agent for the other team and kept running the ball into his own endzone and also was murdering his teammates

this is possible but another way to think of it is that if you're under 40 in China you hadn't experienced anything but growth until 2020. the appetite for eating bitterness for the sake of the nation is not that great, but the fuck you spirit at US actions is very real.
I would also assume that the Chinese, many of whom are one generation away from famine experiences, would be more willing to accept some limitations on consumption for the sake of the greater good than the Americans, who have been told to consume as much as possible for all of their lives.

I know a lot of my friends on here would have wanted a Bernie presidency, but I am a center right person down to the bones, and thought that would be bad, in large part because of economics.
But yeah, this is sort of obviously worse than even Bernie or AOC or whatever else.

NYT needs to correct this disinformation right away. Its reporters are apparently clueless about what's actually going on out there. People with valid visas and green-card holders ARE ABSOLUTELY being deported right now for speech, and without criminal convictions.

Was doing an interview about solidarity networks and the labor movement and I eventually came to this point that is true:
Until people on the left are willing to be told what to do and take those orders and do the work and like it, we will never rebuild a functional left in this country.

Protests are powerfully for a number of reasons, solidarity, hope, optimism, etc
But more importantly they give people permission to act and continue to grow into actions that are diverse and far ranging in scope and scale.
Giving people the chance to find their own permission to act is good.
